The Petersen's Photographic currently on newstands has a list of 
their top 10 color negative films.   A lot of Reala's features have 
been rolled into other Fuji film and Agfa apparently has found a way 
to balance color against fluorescent lamps without the extra layer 
that Fuji uses.  Film is a moving target.(Thanks to digital 
competition?)  What was true two years ago may not be true today.
